Computer Technologies - IT

The Computer Technologies program at Sequoyah High School is part of the A.C.T. Academy. It introduces students to college level coursework in a fast-paced and stimulating technology-oriented environment.

In the first semester of your time as a student in the Computer Technologies program, you will begin on the path to studying for STRATA certification. This course material introduces you to the basics of the Information Technology world, and will make the transition into advanced and shop oriented work easier. Upon completion of the STRATA course, and the beginning of your second semester, you will start applying what you've learned in the STRATA course as a member of the Sequoyah Technology Team. This team supports the school faculty and student bodies’ technology, and is tasked with keeping the schools computers up and going. You will have fun interacting with your peers and learning in a collaborative environment, as the school itself becomes a living laboratory. No former education or skill in computers is necessary, but would be helpful. The only requirement is that you be focused,

mature, and have the attention span to keep up with the material.

A significant amount of freedom is awarded to students of the program who show good work ethic, willingness to learn, and passion for the responsibilites for which they are assigned. The resources available to individual students are unparalleled by any other program in the county.
